Could Mark Cuban be college football's savior?

I'm not always a Mark Cuban fan, but I'd imagine his national popularity could be about to skyrocket. This will be very interesting to watch develop.

If the schools are too stupid to make it happen on their own, I say, go make a killing off that stupidity, Mark.

I didn't realize college football was in need of a savior. It seems to be doing quite well without one.

This is dumb. Really, really dumb. For real. We all know that college football needs a playoff and it is going to take someone with a lot of power (money) to make it happen. Allow me to jump on the Cuban bandwagon.

Also, here's the money graph:

"Cuban, who is reading the book "Death to the BCS," said he thinks it would take about three or four years of planning before enacting the playoff system. He believes it's a better business opportunity than owning a baseball team, and he admits he's intrigued by the idea of revolutionizing a major sport."

Hyperbole much?

College football could potentially be made better with a playoff system, but could you point to some concrete evidence that shows college football needs to be saved? I didn't realize it was in danger of going anywhere.

Well, to address the original point of the thread, I don't believe the one obstacle to a college football playoff all these years has been the lack of a grandstanding billionaire willing to invest in it. (And I generally like Cuban).

There are a lot of obstacles (real and perceived) to a playoff. Cuban fixes none of them.
